No one advises it, for very good reasons, but the truth is that it happens all the time. Co-worker romance is also responsible for a very large percentage of marriages.
No. I have found there is rarely a good result from this. In the one case I've observed, the guy courted the girl and quit before they started a serious relationship. This worked well.
This may be different at larger organizations. I have only worked at small companies where gossip travels fast and doesn't need to travel far.

No, but I have worked with my wife, both as a peer and as her subordinate. No problems there.
Yes, and it turned into a longer term relationship. No negative impact.
I also caught two people in my company having sex in the office toilets. They both got a verbal warning and told to keep it off-site.
Yes, and it was a good life lesson of things not to do
Don't shit where you eat.
